OFM...FL what does it mean? That was the Morse Code the cat was doing at the end of your video. Great videos, thank you

[pastorwinterstein]

Koeberle and Sasse--if they told me I had to go to a desert island without the Scriptures and the Confessions, but I could take two others, I'd take these...Koeberle is, for my money, the best I've ever read on Sanctification

[bholtz5151]

You forgot "Cheesy". "Easy, Peasy, Cheesy!" As a KG teacher I approve! and USE! Rhyme teaches Phonemic awareness and that is KEY for learning to read!

[LadyTerj121]

Ha! Love how you kept it "real" - offending some of the faint hearted! ;)

My father is a Pastor, we live in a parsonage. One day my brother Peder had a friend (non-church goer) over. He was sitting in the living room with my mom and I chit-chatting. My brother was upstairs. My brothers friend finishes talking about not going to church. My mom gets up and yells up the stairway "Peder! Bring me down The Hammer of God!".... you should have seen the petrified look on his friends face! Priceless!

Hi Pastor,

Steve here, I loved your idea here and truthfully, the portion on confession and absolution is one of the richest blessing we can know. I'm just writing to agree with your comment on Luther. I've read much of him lately and he is just mind blowing. You're right, one doesn't hear alot of preaching like him. Maybe that's why you ended like you did, "there aren't many Lutherans any more, you, me, and sometimes I'm not sure about you." That was funny. God bless.

[Revfiskj]

@horngal88 That joke is one I stole from Dr. Rosenbladt. It's on one hand satire of our Lutheran isolationism, and on the other hand, satire of our (unfortunate) willingness to tolerate intentional "shading" of the meanings of words.

+pax+

"Stay Lutheran, my friends."

Brilliant.

[19monty86]

Pr. Fisk I would add to your list of recent authors "Grace upon Grace" byDr. Kleinig and Sanctification by Dr. Senkbeil or any of his books. In addition Robert Preus doctoral theses on Scripture is quite good also. Thanks for your videos, Pr. Stu Burt

[davidmoseley1988]

I would say another book would be "Theology of The Cross" by Prof. Daniel Deutschlander.

[wcwirla]

Forde is too categorical with Law and Gospel, in my opinion. More of a division than a proper distinction.

[danatnr]

Several years ago I was with Pr. Scott Murray in Houston. I had told him I was reading Forde, and he looked at me and asked, "Which book?"

"On Being a Theologian of the Cross"

"Oh, that one's OK. His later stuff, not so much." :)

[Revfiskj]

@danatnr Forde is as Forde does. I wouldn't tell anyone to read him apart his context: he represents the best of ELCA Lutheranism. I do know (though can't remember where) that he did take issue with "atonement theories" somewhere. I certainly can't agree with him on that. But on Law/Gospel I've found a number of his latter works to be extremely helpful. To be sure, if you like "how" I proclaim on WE, then you have to give a hat tip to Forde. "The Preached God," is the next book I'd recommend.

[mvretro]

@Revfiskj Forde's Where God Meets Man is where he has some funky atonement theroies. But one of the chapters of the book he is spot on with predestination.

[waltherchemnitz]

"There are, like, fifteen books that every confessional Lutheran Must have on their shelf, and if you don't, well them I'm sorry, your just not a confessional Lutheran."

I beg your pardon?

[Revfiskj]

@waltherchemnitz A sense of humor is a good thing. :)

[horngal88]

Awesome! Just in time for Christmas shopping. :)

[myt4truss]

Bunnies are cute..but can't you pull a Ninja from a hat?! I though you were going to say M Chemnitz had a mohawk - here it was the gold! I was waiting for the Solid Gold theme song the first time you said it! Don't you remember the Solid Gold Dancers! I think Star Search (Ed MacMahon) was a spin-off. And...I agree on the importance and value of the Off of Pub Ministry - but isn't the importance as you mentioned - rest assured Jesus does (& has) forgives. We receive forgiveness from Christ.

[RohdeDW]

You should have ended it by ... oh, let's say ... putting on your daughter's hat! That was hilarious! Again an excellent video.

[sdmuss]

@Revfiskj Is there any way we could get a textual list of those books?

Awesome video again!

[ChazzP1992]

Thank you! I've always wondered if there was a non-pop spirituality book on Marriage and Family Life. I'll be sure to buy this book and read through it. Thanks again for all you do!

[irondawson]

Thanks 

[brutechopper95]

aw.... the bunnies are back!!!! you watch Ray William Johnson don't you? Lawl.

[therealsimdan]

Technicality: Giertz wouldn't be an English writer but a Swedish one. ;-)

[Colarmel]

I have acquired a number of those books but have read only a few of them. Where to start....
